Job Shadowing
A job shadowing experience allows a student to spend a few hours to a day (or more) observing a professional on the job. This experience can provide students with a “real-world” look at the occupation or career they may be considering. Job shadowing is a good way to help students decide if a particular occupation is right for them. These experiences are generally not done for academic credit and are usually unpaid.
